UNDERSTANDING CHIN IMPLANT SURGERY

A chin implant is a minimally invasive surgical procedure designed to
enhance the prominence and proportion of the chin. This procedure
helps create a more balanced facial profile by augmenting an
underdeveloped or recessive chin area.

WHY CONSIDER A CHIN IMPLANT?

 	* Improve facial symmetry and proportion
	* Enhance jawline definition
	* Balance facial features
	* Correct recessed or small chin appearance

CHIN IMPLANT MATERIALS

Dr. Lynch offers two primary chin implant materials:

 	* Silastic: A flexible silicone elastomer that does not adhere to
bone
	* Medpor: A porous polyethylene biomaterial that allows bone
integration

THE CHIN IMPLANT PROCEDURE

SURGICAL APPROACH

The chin augmentation procedure is performed under sedation or general
anesthesia. Dr. Lynch creates a small incision either inside the lower
lip or beneath the chin, allowing precise implant placement to achieve
optimal facial balance.

PROCEDURE OPTIONS

 	* Synthetic implant placement
	* Sliding osteotomy (bone repositioning)

RECOVERY AND EXPECTATIONS

Patients can expect minimal discomfort managed with oral medication.
Swelling and tenderness typically subside within one to two months,
revealing a more refined and proportionate facial profile.

POST-PROCEDURE CARE

 	* Pressure dressing applied immediately after surgery
	* Neck and chin support band
	* Contact lens and makeup restrictions during initial healing

IDEAL CANDIDATES FOR CHIN IMPLANT

Candidates may include individuals with:

 	* Recessed or small chin
	* Desire for improved facial proportions
	* Facial trauma or structural concerns
	* Complementary procedure with rhinoplasty or neck lift
